How to Make Apple Ham Steak

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, thinly sliced, and 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped, and sauté until crisp-tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Remove onions and peppers from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cut 1 (1-inch thick) ham steak into 4 equal pieces. Add the ham to the skillet and brown on both sides for 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of apple juice until smooth.
  5. Pour the cornstarch mixture over the ham in the skillet.
  6. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Spread 2 tablespoons of apple butter evenly over the ham.
  8. Top the ham with the sautéed onions and peppers.
  9. Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the ham is heated through.
